For the record, I have update to gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r1, and the issue seems to be fixed. I still don't understand why this has suddenly started happening, as I had been running 2.6.31-r6 for months. Now on to my next issue: my laptop powers off by itself after a few hours of doing nothing. I first thought that it was a hardware issue, but it just switched off before my eyes a few minutes ago: the screen went blank, and I could see the caps lock and scroll lock LEDs blink for ~30 seconds, before the laptop powered off. This seems to be a strong hint at a kernel panic. Unfortunately, as I was in X, I didn't get to see the panic, and it wasn't logged either. Does anyone know how to get the kernel panic message in such a case? I have enabled remote logging with syslog-ng, but I suspect that this won't be enough. I have found kdump, but setting it up seems to be quite tricky. -- Remy
